Bartender said, "Can you turn it down? They can't hear the game".




We had a similar experience. We were playing at a Sheraton in Spartanburg, and the guy booked us on a night that the Gamecocks were playing. We're playing on the terrace to two people while the entire crowd is inside watching the game.

Can't compete with sports. grin
